Our AI-powered reading app improves fluency and comprehension. Designed for individuals with reading challenges, neurodiverse users, and those with mobility or speech limitations, it leverages AAVAA’s neurotechnology and Intel’s AI PC to track attention and speech in real time—delivering benefits that support users across all ability levels.

With over 1 billion people worldwide living with some form of disability [1], reading difficulties remain a global challenge affecting millions, especially children. The major contributing factors are attention-related issues, such as distractions or difficulty staying focused, hindering academic performance, emotional well-being, and future opportunities [2].

We conducted an in-depth study to define the end-user profile, showcasing individuals with ADHD, Autism, and Dyslexia face unique reading challenges rooted in cognitive and neurological differences [3], contributing to the staggering statistic of 65% U.S. fourth graders struggling to read at a proficient level [4].

The current reading tools that exist to support children and teachers are not accessible and do not feature personalized features. They typically lack the ability to track attention, fail to provide meaningful feedback and require constant internet connectivity for AI tools.

Supported by Intel’s RISE Technology Initiative (IRTI) and funded by Intel, AAVAA has developed The Smart Reader: A reading tool designed to analyze user attention and reading behavior. Providing personalized feedback and recommendations for improving reading.

People with mobility, speech, and attention impairments often face significant reading barriers with traditional educational tools due to limited control options and non-inclusive design. AAVAA technology, combined with Intel’s AI processing, offers hands-free educational support for all users, especially neurodiverse individuals like those with ADHD and dyslexia . This solution addresses the needs of 1.3 billion people with disabilities worldwide [1], tapping into an emerging market for AI-powered educational tools that rivals the size of China.

The combined solution between AAVAA and Intel can create a huge impact in how reading assessments and learning plans are handled. By streamlining data collection and analysis, the Smart Reader app allows teachers to shift their support to each student with more impactful and individualized instructions.

The Smart Reader application contributes to building a more inclusive and equitable learning environment, reflecting the broader societal benefits AI can bring.
